Are you having trouble opening (or running) programs and applications?



Our Fix File Association .EXE can help you fix this problem in a jiffy -- and Yes, it works in Windows 7 and Vista, too!

Simply download and install Fix File Association .EXE, follow the instructions below, and you will once again be able to open your programs and applications. The time and annoyance you'll save by using this easy to use and well tested product is well worth the tiny price!


Why does this happen and what does Fix File Association .EXE do?


There are a variety of reasons why you may have lost the ability to open applications (having a .EXE file type). Sometimes a virus or malware may have infected your computer and damaged your .EXE file association. Even a legitimate but badly written program can cause this problem.

Once the .EXE file association has been corrupted you may notice that the “Open” option isn’t listed on the context menu anymore when you right click a file:

Broken NOTEPAD.EXE file association


It can be extremely difficult to tweak the registry settings to fix this problem on your own, even for an advanced PC user.

Software Candy’s Fix File Association .EXE makes it simple to repair your broken .EXE file association. Just install this safe and secure download and you will again be able to quickly open the files you need with a double click -- or from the Run box:

Repaired  NOTEPAD.EXE file association


Note:  The nature of this particular problem is such that you cannot run any EXE file -- even an EXE file that is supposed to fix this problem.. Thus, this wizard is the only one in our system that has a COM extension. By doing so, we provide you with the same convenience of all our other wizards: You can run it by simply double-clicking it.

New! With the introduction of Version 2.0,  Fix File Association .EXE no longer relies on REGEDIT (this feature was added thanks to a suggestion of one of our customers).

New! With the introduction of Version 2.1,  Fix File Association .EXE fixes misdirected associations on Windows Vista and Windows 7 as well, i.e. if opening an .exe file always invokes Mail, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player or other program mistakenly associated with the .EXE file type. Also, it is now positively tested with the 64-bit version of Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

New! With the introduction of Version 2.2,  Fix File Association .EXE automatically detects whether your system is Windows XP or higher and adapts the fixes according to your system.


As with all Software Candy products, Fix File Association .EXE is completely free of any viruses or spyware (digitally signed for authenticity and integrity) and is well tested for its advertised features. If ever needed, you can also uninstall it completely with a single click, performing a total cleanup after itself.

If you need to solve your .EXE file type problem but don’t know where to start, Software Candy’s Fix File Association .EXE is your solution.
